Chapter 597: 597 Official Confrontation! Sister Lan’s Game [1 More]

To be summoned personally by Lin Shiyuan, even members of the main family should feel honored, let alone those from a branch family?

Could it be that Ye Wanlan thought her name had entered the global limelight with "Treasures of The Divine Land," elevating her to a high position?

Yet today in Shenzhou, the true rulers are the Five Great Families.

Even though Ye Wanlan knew Su Xueqing, Su Xueqing had returned to the Su Family and was entrusted with important tasks, Steward Lin did not believe Su Xueqing could surpass Su Ningxiang and become the new leader of the Su Family within just a few months.

Even if Su Xueqing had such capability, Lin Shiyuan would absolutely not allow it.

Since it was something Lin Shiyuan would not allow, it would not happen.

Steward Lin glanced at Su Xueqing beside him and smiled, "Miss Xueqing, this matter is our Lin Family affair. The Lin Family won’t interfere in the Su Family’s matters, and we hope Miss Xueqing won’t get involved either."

The interests among the Five Great Families were profoundly intertwined, but without touching their fundamental interests, the elders and offerants would turn a blind eye to minor skirmishes and conflicts and wouldn’t interfere.

"Xueqing," Ye Wanlan raised her hand to stop Su Xueqing, "He’s right, this matter doesn’t concern you, don’t get involved."

Steward Lin’s gaze flashed briefly, and he smiled faintly, "Miss Ye indeed knows her place, seems like there’s no need to wait until we return to the Lin Mansion to teach you."

"I’ve said, if your young miss wants to see me, let her come herself," Ye Wanlan remained calm, not showing any anger, "Otherwise, just with you people, you can’t take me to the Lin Mansion."

This statement greatly provoked Steward Lin’s anger, and he finally stopped smiling, "You want Miss Shiyuan to see you in person? Who do you think you are? Even the elders from the Xiang Family are polite and give way when they see our Miss Shiyuan!"

Does Ye Wanlan qualify?

"My rule is just that," Ye Wanlan said indifferently, "Xueqing, let’s go."

Steward Lin shouted sharply, "You dare?!"

"Sh-sh!"

The guards stepped forward, pressing closer to Ye Wanlan.

"If anything happens to me, then the next day, there will be a timed announcement to the entire network stating the Lin Family are murderers," Ye Wanlan had no fear and she smiled lightly, "A noble family? The power of public opinion is fearsome, and no one, including the Lin Family, can withstand it."

Steward Lin’s expression drastically changed.

Indeed, Yunjing Lin Family never cared for something as mundane as television shows.

But Ye Wanlan’s significance in the Shenzhou Land Continent was exceptionally different now, nearly akin to a mascot.

The Lin Family indeed had the power to make Ye Wanlan disappear without a trace, but what after that?

Steward Lin felt an unbearable tightness in his chest and took a deep breath; his voice squeezed through his clenched teeth, "I will faithfully report Miss Ye’s words to Miss Shiyuan."

"Good, that’s appropriate," Ye Wanlan said nonchalantly, "Now go back."

Steward Lin choked, his expression as dreadful as if he had swallowed a fly.

Such a casual demeanor, as if she thought she already owned the Lin Family?

Steward Lin left angrily, returning with his guards, defeated.

"Luckily you didn’t go back to the Lin Mansion today," Su Xueqing sighed with relief, "If you had just gone with them, who knows what tricks Lin Shiyuan would have used against you."

Returning to the Su Family over the years, she too had quickly grasped the current situation in Yunjing.

Unexpectedly to Su Xueqing, among this generation of successors of the Five Great Families, the most beloved was not Xiang Shaoyu, but Lin Shiyuan.

Lin Shiyuan’s control over people made Su Xueqing feel a sense of horror, such that even the Elders Council of the Xiang Family showed great deference to her.

Su Xueqing frowned again, "Lin Shiyuan probably confirmed that you really play classical instruments, thinking she was deceived, that’s why she sent Steward Lin and others to find you."

"I know, she must have noticed," Ye Wanlan caught a falling leaf with her hand and spoke in a light tone, "But how does she know, this wasn’t intentionally revealed by me?"

"!!!"

At those words, Su Xueqing felt a chilling thrill, her body breaking out in goosebumps.

All this was a setup by Ye Wanlan?

So doesn’t that prove she can predict Miss Shiyuan’s ideas and every move?

Ye Wanlan smiled slightly and said, "Sometimes, purposefully showing an enemy what they think is a flaw can fetch you more useful information, especially if one has spent a long time on the battlefield."

Ultimately, who is the strategist and who is the trapped, she was the one who decided.

Her confrontation with Lin Shiyuan had just begun.

"So that’s how it is, you had me worried there for a moment," Su Xueqing sighed in relief before asking, "Are you planning to return to Lin Mansion now?"

"Yes," Ye Wanlan lifted her head, looking at the sky, "it’s about time, I need to verify if my hypothesis is true."

As the last Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sound Sect, Lin Fanyin’s talent was unquestionable. Her most commonly used zither wasn’t any of the Three Ancient Zithers, but rather the next best, the Secluded Zither.

But the Secluded Zither hadn’t brought Lin Fanyin back to Shenzhou like Xie Linyuan, Hua Yingyue, and Huo Jingyu had been.

Therefore, Ye Wanlan had always deduced that Lin Fanyin’s situation was special and that she must gather the Primordial Lost Sound Zither, Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither, and Withered Wood Dragon Chant Zither, to possibly bring her back.

If there was even a possibility, Ye Wanlan would definitely act on it.

More importantly, ever since she had encountered Han Yunsheng in a historical review, that bad premonition in Ye Wanlan’s heart grew stronger.

To prepare for the second Battle of Ten Thousand Armies, what she had done so far was far from enough; she must accelerate the process.

Su Xueqing didn’t ask further, she only nodded, "I’ll help you, Ah Lan."

"The waters at Su Family are not shallower than at Lin Family, be very cautious," Ye Wanlan turned her head, "Su Ningxiang and Lin Shiyuan are aware of our close relationship, they might join forces."

"Alright," said Su Xueqing gravely, "if they join forces, then we will too."

**

Yunjing Lin Family.

"That’s exactly what happened." Steward Lin spoke quietly, recounting the events that had just unfolded, and begrudgingly said, "She said if Miss Shiyuan wants to see her, she has to come in person."

"How dare she!" Lin Zhushuang erupted in anger, "Who does she think she is? Commanding Shiyuan?"

"Oh?" Lin Shiyuan wasn’t angry, "Interesting, then I shall go see her personally."

"Shiyuan!" Lin Zhushuang frowned, "Even if she is talented in classical music, it doesn’t mean she can practice the Heavenly Music Method, or else wouldn’t it mean that any random person from Yunjing University’s Music Department could become a Musician of Heavenly Sound?"

"It’s just a visit, Supreme Elder, no need to rush," Lin Shiyuan stood up, "I’ll continue to consider whether she can return to Lin House."

"Shiyuan!" Lin Zhushuang spoke, but by then Lin Shiyuan’s figure had already vanished from the doorway.

Her expression cooled, her visage darkening.

The Lin Mansion was located in the southern part of the city, quite a distance from the main family estate.

But for Lin Shiyuan, who was proficient in Qinggong, it was nothing.

At this time, Ye Wanlan had just returned to the mansion and was chatting with Lin Huaijin and Khor Peiqing.

"Steward Lin said if I want to see you, I have to come myself," a cool voice came from outside the door, "As you can see, I’m here."

Lin Huaijin and Khor Peiqing couldn’t help but change their expressions, as they had heard no footsteps.

"When a guest comes from afar, they should be welcomed, but if a guest comes uninvited, they are an enemy," Ye Wanlan stood up, "But I don’t recall inviting you to my home."

"I apologize for the intrusion, but my time is precious," Lin Shiyuan appeared at the doorway, "This was the only time I could come to see what you are truly capable of."

"Zing!"

Suddenly, a zither note sounded!

With a "boom," a bursting sound echoed through the air!

At the same time, the sound waves vibrated, transforming into multiple sharp blades rushing towards Ye Wanlan.

Upon meeting, Lin Shiyuan had directly employed a killer move from the Heavenly Music Method!
